Hello Pat,

You were definitely look at the correct one. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU99FR (Blue Ox part number BX2417) will be a great fit for your 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel Diesel. We have to change the part number for our site as we carry for so many different manufacturers, we still include their part number on the product page under specs. Our wording on the page where it says "confirmed to fit" is a little confusing as well, I included an image of what it fits, this actually means it fits all models. I have also attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you need help or want suggestions for any of the other flat tow components, please let me know. I am happy to help!

May 2025 bring you many awesome adventures! From, your friends here at etrailer!

It clearly says excluding ecodiesel rebel?

@PatrickS Yes, like I said the wording is confusing. What it means is that it works with the EcoDiesel models, works with the Ram 1500 that is NOT an EcoDiesel, Rebel and TRX, and it also works with the Rebel. So in other words it works with every model. I have tried to get this changed, I promise you that this will 100% work with your 2023 Rebel Ram Diesel.

Is there a roadmaster that will work?

@PatrickS For the 2023 Rebel I am seeing that it only has the following engines: 5.7L HEMI® V8 Engine: This gasoline engine delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, and the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 with eTorque: A mild-hybrid system that provides 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Are you sure your truck is both a Rebel and Diesel? If you do NOT have the EcoDiesel then the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522205-5 will work great for you. I have a VIN decoder if you want to shoot me your VIN I am happy to check it out.
